Yellow Alert for Warrior Societies 

March 31, 2006

 
The Okiijida Society is issuing a yellow alert for all Warrior Societies regarding the escalating situation between Mohawks at Six Nations and the Ontario Provincial Police. In 1990, most First Nations were in shock over the Oka crisis. Since 1990, warrior societies have meet regularly to plan out a strategy if a similar situation occurred. A yellow alert is a stand by alert issued by warrior societies to their membership on a particular situation. It is also a warning to Canada that the situation is being monitored. 

 

Mohawks at Six Nations issued the following, "At noon, Wednesday, March 29th, four Ontario Provincial Police OPP cruisers were spotted at the nearby Unity Road School, three Jimmys, about 14 to 15 undercover cops, two cruisers side by side above the site and on the other side at Canadian Tire the cruisers face the site directly .We welcome our brothers, sisters, friends and allies with open arms to stand in solidarity with us against this illegal invasion of Six nations Land (Highway 6, Caledonia Ontario)."  

 

In 1990, Roseau River Anishinabe First Nation was the first non Mohawks to blockade to show their support. The warrior societies across Canada agreed to the following on situations like this. 1. To stay in our home territory and monitor the situation. 2. That if bloodshed occurred we would take action in our territories that would include blockades but more importantly, we agreed that in the event of the Canadian army killing indigenous people, we would bring the Canadian economy to a halt. We have made it perfectly clear to Canada that the Treaties gave recognition to the whites to peaceful co-existence, deliberate bloodshed by Canada is an end to that treaty right.

 

As the Mohawks stated "The whole issue is jurisdiction and title and we're allies, not subjects,".   Canada must stop using guns to resolve its legal disputes with the Indigenous People.  They know they stole it, they have to give it back."  It will remain to be seen if the Conservatives who were in power in 1990 have learned anything from the Oka crisis.

THE "ONE-EYED ONE-HORNED FLYING PURPLE PEOPLE EATERS" DESCEND ON SIX NATIONS WITH ANOTHER INJUNCTION   

 

Mnn.  March 31, 2006.  The invaders think that if they give us a piece of paper, they can eat us all up.  They started eating up all the Beothuk on the east coast.  When they finished them all off, they headed west.  Their voracious appetite couldn't be satisfied.  Once they start eating, they can't stop.  Such hogs!  

 

Rumor has it that the Ontario court has made another secret unilateral injunction. Sheriff John Dobson arrived at 4:30 pm Wednesday, March 30th, at the Douglas Creek Estates in a white government car with two women who stayed in the car.  He showed up with an Indian guy named Monte as his "Tonto", a Six Nations resident.  Tonto arrived in an Ontario Provincial Police cruiser with another Indian cop from Manitoulin Island.  Dobson seems to think he's hot stuff like a sheriff in a cowboys and Indians movie.  He was gaudily attired in the usual colonial regalia.  It was a pukey green outfit, a bullet proof vest and a side arm.  Can you think of a better representation of the colonial belief that "might makes right" than this?  Did he think that legality depended on his clothing fetishes?  The poor chap was obviously deranged.  

 

The men had painted a thick black line on the road.  His "Kemosabe" was standing close by.  When they were told to back off, they did a quick step dance to the side.    

 

With his big toe barely touching the line Dobson started babbling away in some sort of alien purple people eater tongue.  He was looking at a script he held in his hand.  He acted like the Ontario Court had asked him to deliver a pizza - or was it another unilateral in'junk'tion?  Doesn't he know that the Ontario Court is supposed to uphold the honor of the Crown?  Doesn't he know that under both international and Canadian law, when negotiations fail, "everyone shall be entitled to a fair and public hearing by a competent, independent and impartial tribunal"?  Since when was an Ontario court neutral in a dispute between Ontario and an Indigenous nation?  

 

The women saw the antics of Dobson and his "faithful Indian companion" bizarre and for the 'junk' it was.  They started to drum and sing loudly hoping that Dobson and Monte would regain their sanity and come to their senses.    

 

Then the Six Nations People served him with an injunction that "you are in violation of Kaianereh'ko:wa, state of peace, . by your actions of aggression, violence, breaking the peace, conspiracy to commit murder, . blood sacrifice, genocide against the On'kwe'hon:we, original people of the land".  Dobson jumped as if he was scared by his own reflection in the mirror.  He said, "I am not part of this".      

 

They dropped their paper on the ground, jumped on their high horses and headed into the sunset.  "Hey, you're littering", one of the guys yelled after them.  They didn't turn back to clean up their mess.  

 

When the men drew a black line on the ground they were reminding all of the territorial divide between Indigenous and Canadian jurisdiction. The Indigenous people agreed to allow the Europeans to find refuge on Turtle Island.  We never agreed to give up our property and lives to them.  We negotiated the Two Row Wampum agreement to share the river. The refugees were to remain in their own boat on a parallel path with the Indigenous people.  

 

The refugees were seriously deranged and had a maniacal plan. They refused to respect Indigenous law.  Motivated by full blown greed they decided to unilaterally take over the whole of Turtle Island by using a process called "genocide".  They kept pushing us off our territories.  They killed 99% us.  They told themselves they were on "a mission from god".  

 

To cope with this insane behavior we tried to deal with these lost lunatics in terms that they understood.  We tried to get them to control themselves, but to avail.  One of the agreements was made on October 25, 1784.  The Six Nations got General Haldimand to make a commitment on behalf of the King George III of England to protect us and our future generations forever, on a territory stretching for six miles on either side of the Grand River from its mouth to its source.  

 

The colonizers refused to abide by their word.  The colonial governments did not keep themselves or their wayward subjects in check.  They're still trying to steer our canoe and force us into their boat at gunpoint.  

 

That black line on the road was meant to remind colonial society that they had agreed to respect our independence and our title to Turtle Island in return for our alliance in their disputes with their European cousins.  We only formed alliances in the first place because we needed protection from them.  We are not under their jurisdiction.  We never agreed to become British subjects.  We never agreed to become Canadian citizens.   

 

We really need to find an international mediator right now - someone who doesn't have an interest in the outcome.  It won't be easy to find one.  So many states are committed to appropriating indigenous land.  Perhaps it needs a mediation team, including representatives of both Indigenous people and colonial states who are not involved in this particular dispute.  The mediators must understand the colonial law that the colonizers are seeking to uphold as well as our law, the Kaianereh'ko:wa.  If they don't want to go for outside help, they could try mediating with us on our terms according to the Kaianereh'ko:wa.  We've tried for over two centuries their form of negotiations based on their use of force and threats.  This never worked.  Now they have to try and do it our way.  They might be surprised at how well it works if only they would give it a try.  If only they could understand.  

 

Unfortunately the colonizers have never been healed since squatting on Turtle Island. They've become one of the most materially wealthy "cookie monsters" in the world, while they remain socially and spiritually impoverished.  Their relationships are all based on domination and immediate gain with no thought for the future generations.  

 

Despite their huge horde of stolen Indigenous property which they amassed as a result of the holocaust they caused, they refuse to share anything with us or our future generations.  Their plan is that in another 20 years there will be no more "Indian problem".  You can't steal land.  You can only illegally occupy it.  You can't put it in your pocket and walk away.  You have to kill the Indigenous people on it and then put your roots in our place.  We aren't going to let you do it.    

 

To them everything is their personal possession.  They think that only some of their people have rights of ownership.  How can this sickness be cured?  The great peace under the Kaianereh'ko:wa, the law of Turtle Island.
